There's something simultaneously expansive and claustrophobic about Godspeed You! Black Emperor's music, much like many of the scores Bernard Herrmann composed for Alfred Hitchcock's films in the 1950s and '60s.Those feelings can also be found in the sounds of Arcade Fire, Bell Orchestre and The Besnard Lakes as well. So it's fitting members of...

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) May 20, 2011 3:20 pm
Those of you who think that the Jay-Z army big-upping Toronto's Austra on their Twitter yesterday is a meaningless act are very, very wrong. If anything, it's a sign the fact that the trio are about to explode. Sure, they've been hyped like crazy, but now we're pretty much at the point where their gothic cauldron's about to boil over — and...

U2 will officially have the highest-grossing tour in history when they play their second show at Sao Paulo, Brazil's Morumbi Stadium on Sunday. —Billboard Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner has senselessly apologized to Gary Barlow for calling Take That "a load of old bollocks" in 2006.

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) February 1, 2011 2:19 pm
Here's yet another one from The Luyas' Too Beautiful To Work new studio album. The title track is a little more upbeat than "Tiny Head," what with the bouncy keyboards that match singer Jessie Stein's vocals and the string arrangements backing it.Too Beautiful To Work features guest appearances from Owen Pallett and Arcade Fire's Sarah Neufeld,...

Song Of The Day: The Luyas' "Tiny Head"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) December 1, 2010 2:29 pm
The ethereal, floaty "Tiny Head" is one of the tunes that will be included on Montreal quartet The Luyas' new Too Beautiful To Work album when it's released Feb. 22 through Dead Oceans. The strange, otherworldly sound of this tune is probably due to the fact that Jessie Stein plays a Moodswinger, which divides string parts into two seconds, giving...

Think About Life Top M For Montreal Night One

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) November 20, 2009 3:10 pm

While earlier editions of the shindig (designed to expose out-of-town music industry decisionmakers to the city's deep musical bench) could tout the...
